The same Metacritic that pulled outlets from its list to help keep the Starfield score higher.

Fuck off and stick your Xbox propaganda where the sun doesn't shine, gameranx.

The bots and shills failed to make it
Less than 90 from ther usual
Pressure.

So skyrim and starfield should of been an 60score according to all the bugs they have...

My gripe with this argument is...

1. Spiderman doesnt have that many bugs imo, well I hvnt seen any.

2. Games like all Bethesda games, Lords of Fallen, All Souls games, Assn Creed games, never get docked for bugs generally from what I seen but....

Games like "Days Gone" got massacred

So there isnt consistency with how they rate games and, thts reviewers fault and biases. If they aren't going to dock pointd for perf and bugs say sooo if they are keep it 100% across the board. Even ganes with fucked up online or not working at all sonetones don't get docked abd their is bias. Halo chief collection online was bored for over a year yet they didbt dick it but Driveclub which was fixed in a few months was destroyed in reviews because of it!!!
To me Horizon Forbidden West is glitchy (very rarely an enemy gets stuck somewhere and when the camera switches you see stuff falling in place for 2 or 3 frames).... It seems much better than the large majority of Open World games, same goes for SpiderMan 2, I have not seen anything fishy in any of the gameplay I have seen around (outside the stupid photo mode stuff).

However, games like any semi recent Bethesda title, Cyberpunk 2077, etc. are broken by actual bugs.

I don't think I have seen a single bug
The worst I've seen Ian my playththrough were

Some npcs got stuck between the fence and the bins
One of photograph didn't register (restart checkpoint fixed it)
I got an crash after 24h ( mind you I got more crashes in any other game I've play)
One of the crimes the dude got stuck in the car.

That's it, after 24h.

I don't what these people are playing

I was watching a lot of playththroughs and max got the rendering issues and he didn't even notice just the cabs were greenish lol

My game crashed during the final mission. Other than that, just a couple of Npc dumbassery here and there.

Tbh I think it should be a consideration when reviewing games. 30fps 1600x900p in 2023 is a joke. Companies should be incentivised to keep performance on parity with gameplay.
Definitely should these bozos live moving goalposts, if it was another game thyd make a big deal. I hate reviewing bias, discrepancies and hypocrisy.

Offering my own experience for science, I have had two bugs within many hours of joyful, smooth play.

One was a character levitating for a split second, pre-patch.

The other was a bunch of cars weirdly inserted into each other in a line on the rear ends. It’s not as sexy as it sounds.

Two things, one pre-patch, that did not affect my gameplay at all in 10 hours probably? If that’s a buggy game, especially for an open world, we got it good.
